~~Hello! My Name is Blue! (I also get called Blueberry sometimes). I didn’t have the best start to life so finally getting to experience life and love has been a new adventure for me. I’m not as big as some female dogs my age and I think that’s probably because I wasn’t treated very well while I was growing up. The vet thinks I’m about 3 or 4 years old. Some things to know about me: My foster mom allows me to eat whenever I want, but I usually eat when my foster brothers do. I was really shy at first so she spoiled me and fed me from her hand. I didn’t mind her touching my food bowl or being around me while I ate. My foster brothers sometimes like to sniff my bowl while I eat and I didn’t mind them either. Every now and then it kind of bothers me, so I softly let them know. I eat in my crate because that is where I’m comfortable. I’m very food motivated when it comes to learning. I know to sit down and look when yummy treats are involved. I didn’t know what to think of my crate at first. My foster mom thinks I spent a lot of time in one because I get really sad when I have to go in it. After awhile I started to understand that when they leave I have to go in it- I get super excited when they come home though. My foster mom asks me to calm down and sit sometimes when she gets home because I’m just so excited I can’t handle it. One time when I realized the bottom latch was missing I snuck out and found so many new toys!! My foster mom had this really yummy plant that I found. So now I’m not really allowed out of my crate when no one is home because I think she liked that plant. I do really well in my crate though. I feel really comfortable in it now. One of my favorite times of the day is going outside with my foster brothers to play and go to the bathroom! I accidentally used the bathroom a couple times in the house when I first got here because I wasn’t feeling very well. But I know that outside is where I am supposed to go. Sometimes I forget but I’m trying really hard to remember. Usually when I mess up on something, after getting told “No” once, I try not to do it again and I’m usually good at that. I walk really well on a leash but I can’t figure out how to walk straight. I just have so many things going through my head I kind of run into my foster mom sometimes. I do that when she’s walking in the house too. I run into her legs a lot. She doesn’t mind. I love playing with my foster brothers, they look just like me. I don’t like playing very rough but I do like to play. This human 1 year old that lives down the street comes to play with me sometimes. I really like playing with him, I do really well with him! I kind of just lay there and let him play with me, I don’t mind. I do really well with children. They like to pet me and kiss my head and I just let them. Speaking of laying there, I do love to sleep! My foster mom and dad let me sleep on the bed with my brothers on top of the dog blanket and I love it! I’m so comfy. I do really well around small dogs, cats, and even ducks! I was never taught commands so getting told to do things is kind of hard. Please be patient with me and know that I don’t know a whole lot, but I’m sorry if I make you mad. I get really scared when I know that you’re mad at me. I love getting treats when I do what I’m told though! Sit down, look, stay, and no, are some words that I almost understand all the way! I'm really enjoying this being taken care of and loved thing! I can’t wait to find a forever home one day. I enjoy being told that I’m really sweet. I hope my new family will think that too. New home, if you’re out there, i can’t wait to meet you!
